How do I open the balls when they're snapped shut?

I put a thumb on each number and just pry them apart. As you play with the toy it will loosen up a bit with time.

I press in at the numbers and they come apart quite easily. My boys are 14 months now and can get the smaller ones apart. The *key* is to not nest them as balls. If you want to nest them within each other, don't snap the smaller balls together.

okay the thumb on the numbers is not a sure fire way to open them - I just used a flat head screw driver. Line up the flat head with the seam between the two halves and twist open. Quick and easy.

Just pull them apart. Put a finger in both holes and then just pull hard. The smaller ones are harder than the big ones.

There are two ways that I can get it open. I take the zebra part off and pull the bottom apart. Or if that doesn't work, the pieces on the side, you pull it up, and the case will open easily

You have to pull hard. It clicks in so to open it you have to grasp it and pull hard

You may need to pry just a little bit. The single side has a detent (spring ball-bearings) holding it closed, just insert object and lightly pry up, it will pivot on the two hinges and open.

Simple, use a quarter to pry it open by turning it. I know it looks like it is going to break but it won't.

Make sure you are trying to open it properly. Slide the lock buttons on each side toward the ends of the case, and they should pop open.

You just place either side of the opening (not the middle ) and push down, to get the ball just flip the thing over and the ball falls out. It's a pretty cool design and very easy to use

Yeah you just have to snap and unsnap it a few times. I can open and close mine with one hand. I had the same issue as you when i first received mine

Hummmm...I'm not sure how you're trying to open them if it's causing difficulty. If you use a flat head screwdriver, and pry all around the can, like a pain can, it should pop right off. I'm sorry, I don't have any other suggestions, if you were opening it as I mentioned :-( Good luck!

Make sure the metal clasp is not hooked on, and then push the gray button- it'll pop right open!

The blue snaps on the side you have to open them and then you just pull it open go from one side to the other

The metal clasp flips up and you slinde it in and close the metal clasp. Hope that helps.

at the end of the string there is a key ring like circle - open the circle/ring with your hands or pliers - then insert through the hole of the ball

Try a penny or a small flat tip screwdriver and gently lift at the seam. It should open easily.

Well..I usually dampen my fingers prior torubbing them to open the bag. 99% of thetime one try and the bag is open. Hope thishelps.

You unscrew a small lid at the bottom to put treats or food inside, then seal it again so the ball rolls. Be sure the holes at the top are closed before you add food!

They are very stiff when you first get them. Just keep wiggling them open and then when they do open, just open and close them a few times to loosen them up. If they are really too stiff to open, then wedge something between the handles and twist a little bit to get it started. If still no luck, then find a coin, or a large flat head screwdriver and loosen the flat screw in the center a few millimeters.
